Terrorist recruiters are pissing their pants with joy over Trump's gift. Add this to the list of stupid shit Trump has done. Housing the American embassy for Israel in Jordan makes no sense. But I suppose a few more dead soldiers is a price well worth the increase to his basket of deporables by a few american Jewish folks.

I'm not sure what Jordan has to do with this but, the fact is Congress passed a law, the Jerusalem Embassy Act in 1995, that recognizes Jerusalem as Israel's capitol. Bill Clinton, Bush, Obama, Trump and Hillary all ran on that promise, also.
Here's Hillary in 1999

WASHINGTON (AllPolitics, July 9) -- First lady Hillary Rodham Clinton says she considers Jerusalem to be the "eternal and indivisible capital of Israel" and will be an active advocate -- if elected to New York's Senate seat -- to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem.

In a letter that became public Thursday, Mrs. Clinton wrote: "If I am chosen by New Yorkers to be their senator, or in whatever position I find myself in the years to come, you can be sure that I will be an active, committed advocate for a strong and secure Israel, able to live in peace with its neighbors, with the United States Embassy located in its capital, Jerusalem."

It is quite arrogant of this government to declare what the capitol of another country is.
I agree with you it is a horrible idea on several different levels.
